David Plouffe, campaign manager of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, issued a campaign fundraising video today that includes an insulting reference to Michigan that shows a lack of concern for the voters in that key swing state.
Plouffe e-mailed the You Tube video to Obama supporters and the media to explain to them why the campaign needs a lot more money from them. He used a map of the United States to highlight the seventeen swing states the Obama campaign is targeting, but the main point was to inform the supporters the campaign was budgeting a whopping $39 million for Florida alone.
Plouffe used the map many times during the video presentation. Part of his job is to know the targeted swing states down to the city, town, county and precint level.
Yet his map had a glaring error on it that any fifth grader would catch. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan was not colored in as part of the swing state of Michigan. It was left blank like it was another state, perhaps one of Obama's mythical 57 states.
Thank you in advance.
This thread screams MIping.
we have to get out tot he public somehow.
Most inept presidential campaign ever. And that includes Dole’s.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Oh Man, they ticked off the Uppers, eh? (that’s pronounced uuuu-pers)
Obama doesn’t know that Michigan has that Upper Peninsula and Plouffe doesn’t want to confuse him too much.....
Has Obama figured out where Kentucky is yet?
Has Obama told anyone what the other 7-8 states are?
Does anyone here know how many folk showed up for this rally today? Drudge has a picture and it looks pretty packed!
When you see the part you want to capture, hit your PrtScn key. Then open up Microsoft “Paint” and do a ‘ctrl+v’ in the program to paste the screen capture. Then you can drag your mouse over the video to isolate that part of the screen, then click on ‘Edit’ at the top of the Paint window, then click on ‘Cut’ to pull out the selected area.
Then click on ‘File’, then new to open a new Paint window(don’t save the current), then paste. Your captured screen area will paste into the new Paint screen, then you can save it in the format you choose. It does bitmaps by default. Save it as a .jpg.
Hope that wasn’t too big
Thank you!
I didn’t expect that the rural UP would provide too many votes for Obama. West Michigan is also a McCain stronghold. Obama’s hopes rest on Wayne, Ingham, Genessee Counties.
GA, MT, ND, and NC?
lol
Looks good to me. Thanks!
Worst. Campaign. EVER.
Sounds like Tokyo Rose or Bagdad Bob.
